Re: Climate-challenged teams?

I dissagree, the teams with the advantage are the ones that have drivers that can adapt to any driving conditions within the first match and only improve from there.

Re: Climate-challenged teams?

meh, just put your robot on an skating rink, they are litterally all over north america regardless of the climate I dont think that the regolith is as slippery as ice, but i can imagine that being used to worse conditions will make it easier to work in better conditions.

Re: Climate-challenged teams?

i really hope that the ratio of people who know how to drive on ice to those who dont is not similar to northern virginia. essentially only the northerners who move here know how to drive. also people who think that 4 wheel drive solves driving on ice are just as likely to fail as those who think that in real life.
